Arne Slot’s Fit Right-Back Quandary…
Liverpool could be scrambling to field a full squad, as Arne Slot faces a defensive injury crisis ahead of the clash with Newcastle United. Against the backdrop of a lack of defensive options, Ryan Gravenberch’s return from suspension will likely be greeted with more cheers than grandma’s infamous Christmas sweater. Slot believes Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will bring stability against the Magpies, hoping for an airtight performance in midfield at St James Park.
Arne Slot is preparing without Jeremie Frimpong, whose absence will be felt more than a Wi-Fi outage during a gaming marathon, with Conor Bradley’s fitness still in question. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez is about as predictable as a cat deciding if it will sit on your keyboard or not, having only recently returned to action. Potential alternatives like Wataru Endo or Dominik Szoboszlai might have to step up for the game, adding to the suspense at Newcastle, who are spared any injury woes this week. Anthony Gordon could be their secret no.9 weapon!
